It's a reality that many anti-immigration politicians never mention. The argument comes back that there are plenty of lazy people who should be doing the hard, physical work or, in the case of the UK, looking after the elderly and others needing care instead of living off benefits. It's never those moaning about immigrants going for the lowest paid jobs, but they expect some mythical work force to magically arise to fill the gaps.
Yes, we are all used to cheap labour which could be in our own countries or in faraway places where it won't disturb us.

@LinuxBreaksWindows And yet supposedly that was the selling point—he was going to "lower prices"…🤔

Why is it acceptable for migrants to do the labor? Why is it not acceptable for you and other Americans to do the labor?

@emiliya Simple answer is the work is back breaking.....exposure to the elements... pesticides, etc.
Ever watch the film Places in the Heart with Sally Field? Watch the scenes of them picking cotton.... and tell me who is going to do that today? Sub 'cotton' for any vegetable or fruit of your choice.
If Americans wanted to do this work.....surprise.....they would already be doing it!

@MoveAlong We all have ideas above our station nowadays. People want to work in offices and become bosses. They want to be pencil pushers instead of doing honest labor. We have given the corporations our souls and power over our lives. Supermarkets can hike the prices whenever they like, migrants or no migrants. They have monopoly.

@emiliya I've been on both sides of it. I've done dirty sweaty labor because I had to. I've been a low level pencil pusher, middle management and retired as a VP. I don't find being a laborer or pencil pusher is less honest than any other legal occupation.
The answer to corporations that run our lives is strong and labor unions. Something Republicans have always fought because traditionally corporation money has backed Republicans. .
